    <p>sorry, it was the son of the guy on the radio that said he'd do 1 and done, and Green was saying he wouldn't (will be on the on demand thing at probably 11-11.30 or so) I knew I'd stuff that up as they explained what it meant on the radio too 🙂 </p>

    <p>Adams is getting under Green's skin. He will need to watch himself now and I wonder how not being on the edge of the law will affect his performance</p>

    <p>I have thought about this, but I also think I dont understand the mental side of an elite athlete. The confidence/arrogance they have is off the chart.</p>

    <p>Meanwhile in that other conference final the Raptors have just won game 4 at home to level their series with the Cavs at 2-2.</p>

    <p>One of the greatest turnarounds in playoffs I've seen. Raptors were absolutely cooked after the first two, but have somehow levelled the series.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Cavs should still win but they will have to work for it.</p>

    When DeRozan and Lowry play well they usually win, so no coincidence they came up big today and won. Biyombo has been unreal. That game 3 performance was off the charts - 26 rebounds including 8 offensive. <br><br><br>

    <p>Game 4 underway.  The ESPN live play by play is seriously awesome.</p>

    <p>45-61 to OKC with 3 remain in 2nd quarter.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Love this tweet</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>"Steven Adams threw the balls out of that pass"</p>

    <p>So far, so good for OKC.  They have scored the same amount of points in this half (72) as in game 3.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Green is out of sorts.</p>

    <p>Big half by Adams as well 7 pts and 6 rebounds in half a game for a guy averaging 10 and 10.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Man he has picked the right time to be on a form streak hasn't he? His value must be going up every game.</p>

    <p>GSW made a run to get the score within 6 pts but OKC ended the half well.  94-82.</p>

    <p>Yep, too quick trying to type.  Anyway, back to the game...</p>

    <p>KD is heating up.</p>

    <p>This game has little to do with Adams, Westbrook is owning it.  Triple Double.</p>

    <p>Fugged it about it ... OKC 23 up with 3 mins to go.  This one's done.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>3-1 up in the series, GSW in a world of shit. Curry and Green's stats are bloody awful.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I'm sure the kiwi media will write up Adama, but Westbrook, followed closely by Durant have absolutely owned this game.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Edit:  GSW agree.  Second team on now, Curry et al, subbed off.</p>

    <p>This one is in the bag.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Wow. 3-1 advantage. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Hope Grant Dalton isn't anywhere near them.</p>

    <p>Undeniably. I haven't watched the game but Adams looks by the numbers to have played a fairly big role in the first half even though they haven't used him as extensively as other games. In other words he helped set the game up.</p>
    <p>RW looks to have gone crazy in the second spell (was going to write apeshit but that would be frowned on)</p>

    <p>It was the OKC small ball 5 that did the business with Ibaka (who was huge) at C and KD at PF.  The crowd was bloody loud too - they have the best supporters in the NBA.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>OKC needs to keep the foot on the throat for game 5.  The pressure is all on GSW to win and extend the series, so OKC can play with more freedom, but they won't want to come back home for a must-win game 6.</p>

    <p>Yeah from the website I was checking out Adams made some good plays on Curry - he's not a one man band but he's doing bloody well. Westbrook and Durant is such a mean combo, they are on fire atm</p>
